Coffee Story:

Finca Cruz Gorda is one of 5 farms owned by Mauricio (Moe) Salaverria. This is the first time we have purchased a coffee from Finca Cruz Gorda and the first time we have procured a natural dry processed coffee from El Salvador. The flavors in this coffee are influenced by processing technique, excellent growing conditions and attention to detail. Naturally processed, the coffee cherry is harvested, and sun dried with the fruit still intact to the outer surface of the bean. The coffee is then milled, removing the dried cherry and exposing the coffee seed.
